UPDATED 7/8 11:45 EST - A group on facebook called "People who want Daniel LOGAN as young Boba Fett in Star Wars Live TV series" has been created by a French fan, and already boasts over 300 member including Daniel Logan himself! Join the group on facebook HERE.

News of the "Star Wars" live-action series began circulating again this past week. According to numerous sources, the first 100 episodes are currently being written, and casting has begun in Australia.

In the BFFC's previous coverage of the series last year, we reported on producer Rick McCallum's plan for the show, stating that:

"Boba Fett will be an instrumental part of the show."

He continued on to say that the live show would not feature any main characters from the films, and would be set between Episodes III and IV.

As far as who will play the most infamous bounty hunter in the galaxy? According to IESB, McCallum told a French audience at "Star Wars Reunion 2", the actor he'd like to see playing Boba has played him before! No, not Jeremy, Boba would be in his twenties remember? Although there has been no confirmation from Daniel Logan's people, he sure does look right at home in this set of fan-made armor.

The BFFC will be on top of this story as more information is made available. Until then, what are your thoughts on Logan reprising his bigger and more mature role as our Mandalore-in-training?
